Club Development Manual / CD

Intro:

In the evaluation of the Year of the Youth project (2001), the FIH asked NAs how we could continue to help and support them in the development of hockey in their countries. From the replies received the message was very clear - “could we produce resource materials which would help to create a structure which would lead to continued and sustainable hockey development?”. To answer this identified need the “Club Development Model” has been produced. This manual and CD aims to support and encourage hockey associations and clubs to further develop and promote themselves.

Content:
